I love using this resource with my second graders when learning about different dictionary skills.
Used with my upper reading groups
I like doing this with one or two of my reading groups. Kids who like words and definitions can get really into activities like this.
This is a great resource that I used for my second grade class.
Great resource for upper elementary kids. It was a great way to assess where they were!
A much needed skill and skill sheet to use. I do wish it was a little easier to copy.
Loved, loved, loved this activity!!! Our kids had no clue how to really use a dictionary and this resources was perfect for teaching parts of a dictionary. The students enjoyed it so much they asked if there was another dictionary activity to do.
This is such a great resource for teaching an important skill.
